LINKPLAY actuator integration appears as sensors in some functions

Configuration
1

Hello everyone, hi @guim31 (because I saw your name associated with this integration :smile: )
I installed this integration for my Up2stream card which is well recognized. But some functions like: Music play button, Previous music button and Next music button behave like sensors, they wait for a recorded value. And another one is the opposite: Music playback status, which has a switch, when it should wait for a recorded value. Where can we modify these states? Thanks for your answers.

Hi @Psoy, thanks for the feedback and the screenshot!

On the integration side, everything is declared correctly: play, pause, previous, and next are commands, and the playback state is controllable. It’s the display of the Gladys 5.3 « device » card that makes the difference:

  • Playback State as a switch is intentional: it’s the play/pause button.
  • Play, Pause, Previous, Next do not yet have a button on this card: Gladys therefore displays them as sensors (« No recorded value »). The Stop button, on the other hand, has one, because it comes from the TV remote.

To control your Up2stream card, the most practical option is the Music card on the dashboard: it has all the buttons, the volume, and the cover. These commands also work in scenes (« Control a device »).

@pierre-gilles, a small suggestion for the « device » card: display music/play, pause, previous, and next as push buttons, like the remote commands :wink:

Thanks for your reply. But how do I use the Music card from the dashboard? When I type “music” in integrations, I end up with 9 integrations. I admit I’m lost with all these integrations.

Can you create a GitHub issue? :slight_smile:

@Psoy you don’t need to look in the integrations, the Music card is part of Gladys: it’s a dashboard card.

  1. Go to your dashboard, then click on Edit.
  2. Add a card in the column of your choice and choose Music.
  3. Select your Up2stream card as the player and save.

You then have playback, pause, previous, next, volume, and the cover all in one place.

@pierre-gilles, yes, I’ll open the issue for you :+1:

thanks @guim31
i just installed the card, but there’s a small issue: the buttons work, but I don’t have a volume control, I only see the value displayed. For the cover, I don’t see it, but in the LinkPlay integration, I don’t see it either. Anyway, thanks for your help. I’ll wait, wait for the GitHub issue to see if the integration will change. Thanks again

Content que les boutons marchent @Psoy !

  • Pochette : elle dĂ©pend du lecteur. Les WiiM la donnent par leur API, mais la plupart des cartes Arylic comme l’Up2stream ne la donnent pas : l’intĂ©gration ne peut donc pas l’afficher. Ce n’est pas un rĂ©glage que tu aurais ratĂ©.
  • Volume : la carte Musique devrait afficher un curseur Ă  cĂŽtĂ© de l’icĂŽne du haut-parleur, et l’intĂ©gration dĂ©clare bien le volume comme rĂ©glable. Tu peux m’envoyer une capture de la carte ? Si elle est dans une colonne Ă©troite, essaie aussi de la mettre dans une colonne plus large, pour voir si le curseur apparaĂźt.
